it's not going to be that big of a deal. you listen to michele bachmann, a ton of these house republicans, just shut the thing down. that's the only way you get to do this thing. it's sinful to vote for this. by the way, a majority of the country, a majority of country says that they're not in favor of increasing the debt limit. that's just a fact. >> and you also have people like nancy pelosi saying that entitlement reform is absolutely off the table even after the president of her own party put it on the table. so there are people in both parties who are playing games with this. i just think it's a shame that a deal that would have both raised revenue, not tax rates, and reformed entitlements and cut spending has been on the table in washington, d.c. for six months and it hasn't gotten done. >> well, i don't know of a single democrat that said that that is no big deal if they don't raise the debt ceiling. >> nancy pelosi and others said you can't touch entitlements. >> i don't know a single democrat that said it's not a bi

he does that by getting a big deal. and he needs to cut entitlements, medicare and social security to get there. the democratic senators and house members especially on the left have been saying nancy pelosi said the other day, there are three big issues for 2012 as far as we're concerned, medicare, medicare, and medicare. and here the president is talking about we're going to cut medicare. pelosi wants to run on we're going to protect medicare, so they're going to have an interesting meeting tomorrow. >> i'd love to be a fly on the wall for that. yeah, jessica, quickly. >> i point out that job numbers come out tomorrow, anderson. they're not going to look good for the white house or congress. and so pushing for something big on all fronts helps everybody looks like they're trying. if it fails they can at least say -- the white house can at least say, hey, we tried. we're trying to do something for the economy. what did they do. >> all right. we'll look for that meeting tomorrow. jessica, thanks very much. david gergen,

but having said that, i think the big obstacles are still the big obstacles. the question is, will you raise taxes, right? >> will you raise taxes. let's go to the republican on that one. ari fleischer, you know how this works from your days on the hill and at the white house. the house proposal will die in the senate tomorrow. then the real negotiations begin. how much of a leash does the republican speaker have negotiating a deal with the president of the united states that could include the ex piration, allowing the bush tax cuts to expire at least for those at the top end, the wealthy? >> john, i think the only way that tax cuts for the upper income tier expires is if barack obama is willing to put on the table the individual mandate. that's a pretty loud and clear message that he's been getting from republicans in these negotiations. clearly there is something in the air, and it's big in washington tonight. the new element is something called a trigger. there's been a lot of talk now involving the president and republican leaders in the white house about

that seems to be their big mantra the last week or so. i would say okay. the rich can bear more of the burden. why don't we have the rich bear full cost of their medicare and take reduced social security benefits? that is the way the rich can absorb more of the burden. but i don't want to increase taxes. because even if you tack rich people or corporations, it really is taxing everyone because you'll have less jobs and it will hurt the economy. the reason tax revenue's down is that we're growing at such a slow rate. if we could grow again, if our economy could get out of the recession we'd have plenty of revenue. >> on the tax issue then, you have no wiggle room the because the president made the case today look what big clinton did in the 1990s. he raised taxes on wealthy americans and the economy was booming. george bush cut them and we had a more sluggish economy. the current president makes the case bill clinton is proof if you have modest taxes on the rich it won't have the impact on job growth. >> two weeks ago most republicans vote today get rid of

>> well, this has become a very big subject in the law professor world. the 14th amendment is one of the most familiar parts of the constitution, guarantees due process of law, equal protection of the law. but there is frankly a provision in section 4 that i have never paid any attention to before. and it goes like this. section 4 of the 14th amendment said "the validity of the public debt of the united states shall not be questioned". now, i don't know exactly what that means. i don't think anybody knows precisely what that means. but it has been suggested that under that provision, president obama could simply order that the debt be paid and that this crisis be forestalled. he has mostly reject that option, but as far as i've read their statements, they have not completely rejected that option. obama has always said, look, i think this should be dealt with by congress, not by unilaterally under the 14th amendment. but under my reading of their statements, they haven't completely ruled out in a total crisis situation invoking the section of the amendment
